    I'm a low-level Ministry of Defence pleb (albeit one with security clearances), and I was told never to buy a Huawei phone. My friend in the Navy was told likewise about three years ago. They suck everything up as a matter of course and then decide what to do with it. How the absolute fuck the government can think this is a good idea is absolutely deranged, and the way they have gone after the leaker is proper Berlin bunker stuff.
    Lol what were you told to buy then? And what OS/apps? Fact of the matter is we're all fucked.

    They're grand til you actually have to use one for an extended period. If they could just get the 'Samsung circa 2013' out of the software then they'd be class though.

    They really do and it's fucking sick.

    I can log onto my work computer, which is supposed to go through some random server in Tennessee, but if I go to google maps it'll show my actual location per my phone.

    I don't recall saying "Ya google mate that's fine track my life please".

    Whole thing is fucked.

    Go to your Timeline...

    Although it's pretty cool when you go on holiday so you can track exactly where you've been. Forever.

    At least they actually show you they're collecting that data. Just think of all the stuff they collect and don't tell you about.

    Well that's honestly the thing that makes me sick if I'm honest. That they're so blatant about it.

    I knew they could do all of this stuff and considering they'll tell me "parked car update" or "51 minutes to work, traffic is light" without me inputting anything so I was hardly completely oblivious.

    But the fact that this has been sitting on google for almost a solid year has me shook as fuck.

    But trust me I'm under no illusion they have absolutely everything about me in a tidy, easily accessible database.

    I don't reckon they'll ever be able to weaponize any of my rather tame fetishes, for example, so in the long run it's okay... but for fuck sake.

    Literally the only good thing about Apple is that they don't collect any of that stuff. It's Peer-to-Phone hence why the FBI can subpeona Amazon for Amazon Echo recordings but not Apple for Facetime conversations.

    Aye, 100%.

    My town is a perfect example. Ruggerz went from a population of 59000 in 1971 to 62000 in 2001, to 70000 in 2011. Since 2011 we've had shit loads of new estates built, and I'd imagine the population is 80k+. Problem is, the new estates have generally been built at the arse end of previously existing housing.

    No new amenities like parks and shit, no new schools and absolutely no new relief roads. Just acres of suburban hell with no consideration of logistics because why would you bother? I know I'm a pathetic lefty loser, but for what little it's worth, i'd say this kind of shit is exactly why Ayn Randian small state TRUST THE MARKET bollocks doesn't work; property developers will make millions building and selling housing without doing shit for the long-term effects of said housing.

    My mate and work colleague bought some new build house with her boyfriend about 2 miles from where we work. It generally takes her about HALF AN HOUR to drive in, because of the gridlock. Otherwise she can walk down a shit badly maintained pavement in roughly the same amount of time while inhaling the exhaust fumes of hundreds of cars. Hideous.

    Is this down to them being THE ANTI BREXIT PARTY or just standard protest vote stuff? Probably both, but I wonder how many votes the Anti-Brexit stuff bought them.

    Green Party won in my “ward,” which is a turnup for the books. Usually every ward in St. Helens bar two is landslide labour and then one Lib Dem, one Tory (the two nicest parts, ironically.)

    The comments section of the local papers website is a joy to behold in terms of entertainment value, where every article ends up with people slagging off the council[lors] and the labour representatives. I always thought it was the minority, as in the only people who actually wouldn’t vote labour anymore are those who bother to comment, but it seems it’s the majority now.

    Honestly can’t see anything changing in the slightest though.

    The Conservatives gained where I live, but I think that's because all the cashed-up old people turned out. Everywhere else in Portsmouth got properly pathetic turn-outs.

    The Tories got ravaged by indies and Lib Dems around here, with better funding/infrastructure for the others they would have lost everywhere. Labour seem to be doing the same in shitholes, and are becoming the middle class party of choice (for reasons I do not understand).

    If the Brexit party ran a full slate of candidates and the vote went even remotely towards that, then I could see Jerry C having a Blair style landslide but on 30% of the vote. FPTP

    There still isn't a Progressive Majority, either.

    Sooner or later we'll need a cross party apology on how nobody in any part of UK politics can deliver any form of Brexit. Like, every major and minor party on the spectrum.

    They don't want it full stop. I think it was about 30% of MP's that voted leave. They'd reject the deal of the century.

    Ah yes, Politicians, famous for letting the things they've said and the decisions they've made in the past define their ongoing decision making, would 'reject the deal of the century'.

    An overwhelming minority of them voted for one that literally all sides said was dogshit.
